Our Second Lettuce Harvest

It's truly amazing at how fast lettuce grows, once established.  We are on our second harvest in the past couple of weeks.  Our first harvest provided salads for approximately 4 dinners (x3).  This harvest is slightly larger, so we estimate at least 6 dinners (x3).

If you do the math you are looking at 30 salads.  Now that's a lot to talk about!  I do average Manny's salad as a normal size because that is what he eats.  Ever since we planted our own lettuce he just cannot get enough salad!  Of course he has to have his ranch, but that's okay with me.

We have 9 lettuce plants and if I remember right they were like $2.98 for the 9 pack, I would say they have paid for themselves and we will get yet another harvest out of the same batch.  Who knew a lettuce plant would produce three times after being cut back, I didn't.  Very cost effective and so DELICIOUS!
